To avoid cluttering Jenkins with old branches/tags, it can be useful to filter branches by the last commit time.
For this two new traits has been added, one for filtering branches and the other for tags.
The same functionality also exist for the bitbucket-branch-source plugin.
Credits are going to there implementation which i have adapted for gitlab.
